Join a collaborative national dialogue on innovation and the contribution of tourism to Canada’s sustainable future at the IMPACT Conference. Hosted in Victoria, B.C., January 19-22, IMPACT 2020 will explore how Canadian tourism can move beyond sustainability towards being a regenerative and restorative industry. If you work in tourism, design policies that affect tourism, teach tourism, care about tourism’s impact on communities and Canadians, or see the growth of tourism in Canada as a key economic driver – IMPACT is for you!

The third annual IMPACT Conference promises to build on fruitful conversations and explore new topics by diving deeper into solutions and opportunities that will help shape the future of Canada’s tourism legacy.

2019 TTRA Canada Conference: Help Support Our Silent Auction

The Travel Tourism Research Association (TTRA) Canada is proud to be hosting the 2019 annual conference in Saskatoon SK from September 18 to 20. Our conference attracts an energized mix of tourism research professionals that span industry and academia and from all over the country. This year’s theme is Moving Froward and we are encouraging the tourism industry to rediscover itself from lenses of the past, present and future.

We are asking for your involvement in this conference by supporting the silent auction component. A silent auction donation to the conference will support future conferences and knowledge exchange within our national tourism community. It will also offer your agency positive exposure to our 200 delegates from all over Canada.

We are keen to accept experiences (accommodation and/or attraction experiences), signature products of your region (wines, foods, etc.) artwork representative of your region or even hard goods (e.g., crafted paddles).

To donate, please complete the information in the attached form and return via email to Joe Pavelka ([email protected]).

Due to print deadlines, only those who have submitted this completed donation form by Friday, September 13th will receive donor acknowledgment on relevant signage.

If you have questions, please email Joe at [email protected].

Hope you can help us make this year’s silent auction fantastic!
